THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

.1 Mar 09 - Continuing a decade-long trend of declining global
temperatures, the year 2008 was significantly colder than 2007, and
global temperatures for the year were below the average over the past 30
years.

The global temperature data, reported by NASA
satellite-based temperature measurements, refuted predictions 2008 would
be one of the warmest on record.

Data show 2008
ranked 14th coldest of the 30 years measured by
NASAsatellite instruments since they were first launched in
1979.
It was the coldest year since 2000.

The uncorrupted satellite-based temperature
measurements refute surface temperature station data finding 2008 to be
one of the top 10 warmest years on record.

“From research we have published, and more to come
soon, we find that land surface air temperatures misrepresent the actual
temperature changes in the deep atmosphere—where the greenhouse effect
is anticipated to have its easiest impact to measure. Surface
thermometers are affected by many influences, especially surface
development, so the bulk atmospheric measurements from satellites offer
a straightforward indicator of how much heat is or is not accumulating
in the air, for whatever reason,” said John Christy, distinguished
professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System
Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).
